Head on over to Colour Lovers and read up on the history of the color wheel, from Newton to Goethe to urban street art. Color is fundamental!

RandT posts an addendum (I assume) to the Worst Album Covers Ever. I generally give the older ones a bit of a handicap since tastes and talent change and develop dramatically over the decades - chintzy now was novel back then.

Using these parameters, the worst has to be Limp Bizkit’s, and I don’t say that only because Fred Durst’s concept for the title was utterly ridiculous and should not have been used as a basis for the artwork. Bad.

In response to Fearless Records’ unresponsiveness in a contest they held for a new logo design, some Southern California graphic designers formed PADE (Professional Artists & Designers for Ethics).

Designers submitted logos with various styles and techniques for a promise of an award of $1,000, and the recognition of having re-branded a prominent record label. The label publicized that a winner was to be announced on January 16, 2008, yet there was no winner, no prize, and no recognition.

As I designer, I’ve been under- and never-paid for work I’ve done that has been used - some of it from my own admitted carelessness, but mostly as a result of clients that just refuse to pay for my services (one was even a fellow designer himself). Hopefully this issue will be resolved and the winning artist will be recognized.
